B
An opening in the deck leading outside the hull
C
A chute, usually over the stern, to lead dumped garbage clear of the hull
D
A drainage pipe that carries rain or spray from an upper deck to a lower deck
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A pipe under the anchor windlass leading to the chain locker. A spill pipe is a pipe that leads from the anchor windlass down to the chain locker, allowing any water or debris that accumulates around the windlass to drain away. This design feature helps keep the deck area around the windlass clear and prevents water from collecting in that location. The other answer choices do not accurately describe what a spill pipe is in the context of a US Coast Guard Captain's License Examination.
